best weekend ever

Otis and Allie had the best weekend ever last weekend. My friend Bren has a new pug puppy who's 10 weeks old named Hendrix. He is so tiny, I think he's smaller than either of my guys were. Otie and Allie are really careful about little ones but I was worried Hendrix would be freaked out. Boy was I wrong. He's not even as tall as their legs but he was running around jumping up and biting on my two. He was so playful! They all ran around together and had a great time! My guys were so bummed when he left :( Come back soon Bren and Hendrix!

Animal blessings

I've been meaning to post this one for awhile... My good friend converted to Catholicism this year and told me once a year Catholics have a special mass dedicated to blessing animals in which you can bring any breed of animal and have the priest bless them. It was so sweet, the music and sermon were tailored to animals and peoples relationships with animals. Here are some pictures of me and the pups and my friend and his family with his rat Che and their dog Sophie. We all decided in the end that Allie may benefit more from an exorcism than a blessing.

Rainy days

Otis and Allie have been bummed out today... It was the first rainy fall day we've had and they hate the rain. You would think they were being punished every time I have them go outside. They flatly refuse to go to the bathroom unless they have raincoats on. When I first explained this to Jamie he thought I was some crazy lady who wanted an excuse to dress up the pups (ok maybe I am a bit :) but then after awhile he realized how serious they were about their anti-rain convictions.

life with pugs

Ok, it's 5:30 in the morning and I haven't slept since 3:00am. Jamie is gone for the night so I thought I'd let the pugs into bed with me...big mistake. Otis can't decide whether or not sleeping under the covers is more fun than sleeping on top of them. Allie has me pushed all the way over to the edge of the bed for maximum snuggles. And lastly Otis can't stop farting long enough to let me breath! Hope everyone out there is having better luck than me tonight.

I love this picture! It cracks me up!

Allergies Again!!!

Poor Allie, we tried to switch his food over to the same food Otis is eating since it has more nutritional value and also because the food Allie is eating is so expensive. He was doing fine for a couple weeks but now a couple of the sores have started popping back up on his face. We thought it would be fine since Otie's food is hypoallergenic and has such limited ingredients but I guess not. Hopefully the sores will go away without antibiotics since we caught it early .

Don't worry...

Otis and Allie are still alive and doing well, I've just been to busy to post lately. Both are enjoying the last few days of warm weather by spending their days peeing on my flower pots and pooping on the patio. I try to give Allie scornful looks while I'm cleaning off that patio and he just looks at me las if to say "what?...it's not like you had anything better to do."

The pups have been a lot happier since I've been home more also we've been letting them sleep in the bed pretty regularly and they love it. They are so easy to please all they want is love and attention, it's a good thing they are so cute!
